Identification and records
Crane and load markings
9 cues in forceBridge or hoist body with the SWL marking in frame.
An illustration of an overhead crane hook block hanging on two wire ropes, with a single hook and safety latch, showing rust-coloured patches on the block, ropes and hook.
Stylised illustration/render of a hook block, adequate detail for large features; small stamped markings and the rope surface are simplified, and the SWL text is faint/partially obscured. No data plate visible in frame.
Right side of hook block body/yellow top edge, and lower bowl of hook at bottom centre. Large irregular orange-brown flaking patches spread across the block casing edge and across the hook bowl, covering a substantial area of those surfaces; texture appears as scale rather than light staining. Section loss cannot be measured from the image.
Accepting this evaluatesR-CR-07
Rope at upper left, above the block. Smaller rust-brown bloom on the left rope leg and light staining around the SWL marking on the block face.
No enabled rule consumes this cue, so accepting it records evidence only.
Left rope leg, upper part of frame. Two or three short curved wire strands stand proud of the rope surface, consistent with broken wires.

Hook block faces. No data/rating plate is visible anywhere in frame; it may be on an unseen face of the block.
No enabled rule consumes this cue, so accepting it records evidence only.
Centre of hook block face. Faint text reading approximately 'SWL 5 T' is present but is low contrast and partly overlaid by a rust patch, so legibility is marginal.
Accepting this evaluatesR-CR-12
Hook block side plates. Two circular openings (sheave/axle bores) are visible on the block face; cannot tell whether a cover plate is intended or absent.
Accepting this evaluatesR-CR-17
- Hook hangs low, close to floor level, with no load attached.
- Background structure is blurred; surrounding area conditions not assessable.
- No visible tagging or inspection label on the hook block.
Recorded on the report as notes. No cue, so no rule consumes them.
3 cues checked and not seen
- Hook safety latch missing or defeated — A latch tongue is drawn across the hook throat from the hook tip, appearing seated; condition of spring not judgeable.
- Impact damage or deformation — Hook shank and block appear straight and square; no dents or bends visible at this resolution.
- Housekeeping around the asset — Floor beneath the hook appears plain and clear; no spill, debris or standing water shown.
